| With all the new technology being displayed here recently, we have decided to unveil some of our latest creations, lest they appear derivative. (URL) The above is a gunship that ended up being geared toward the Eastern Block, due to the colors of (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc)

| (...) Good stuff! I love the EB ship... my only criticism is that it seems like the tail could use a bit more beef to it. (...) You have to select "FTX" from the menu above the message field. :) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) The GA to the rescue! Thanks In what manner do you think I should beef up that tail? were you thinking thicker? or more greebed? My original plans had a vertical fin at the end of the tail, but I would have had to make the ship wider, which (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) (URL) I'm not sure if this is what Mark is talking about, but I was observing that the ship looked awfully nose-heavy. If the rotating thrusters are supposed to be used for lift, it should balance around that point. And it really doesn't look (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Interestingly, the ship actually does balance physically (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hey, Good stuff. I especially like the way you constructed the wings on the tri-winged craft using the arched windows. We've seen a couple of MOCs using a lot of arched window elements like this lately, perhaps inspired by that new helicopter set? (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

| (...) This one reminds me a lot of the gunship from the SW flight sims. I don't know if this was involved in your design at all, but there's a new tri-beam that came in the Gigamesh Spybot (used for the wheel mounts) that's really useful in doing a (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

| (...) My main reason for using the windows is that I just recently sorted a couple of Chambers of Secrets that I got on clearance at KB recently. In fact that ship is mostly parts from Harry Potter sets. I agree that the cockpit is pretty weak on (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I just used 1x2 technic bricks with holes, stacked on a technic axle. I spaced them with (...) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
